Our guide Cathy was very good, knowledgeable about the subject and enthusiastic about it too! The food was amazing, and of course, the bourbon was very, very good!

How warm and friendly our guide was and how much information she was able to share. The places we visited were fun and the food was delicious!! Each place was a totally different vibe and the drinks mimicked them. Our group was small which was so nice getting to know new people.

It was great visiting different restraunts and trying different foods and bourbon.But some of the places the seating was tight and sometimes felt very rushed. The tour guide was great..
